The Denver Broncos narrowly defeated the New York Jets 10-9 in a closely contested game at MetLife Stadium. The game was decided after Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein missed a 50-yard field goal attempt with 47 seconds remaining. The Broncos' defense, led by a crucial sack from P.J. Locke, held firm to secure the victory. The loss drops the Jets to a 2-2 record, while the Broncos improve to back-to-back road wins. The game featured a conservative play call by Broncos coach Sean Payton on third down, which nearly cost them the game. Despite the missed opportunities, the Broncos managed to escape with a win.
